Feature request: option to always display the split direction indicator #3723

Open mxmilkiib opened 5 years ago

mxmilkiib commented 5 years ago

If I open a window, the split direction indicator is displayed at either the bottom or right edge. If I open other windows on the same workspace, the split direction indicator only becomes visible again once I toggle the direction. It would be handy if there were an option to always have the indicator visible.

I too like the idea of this, though i3 behaves the same way as Sway does now. I also wonder how difficult it would be to provide an option for the indicator to show when you mod+a select the parent where the indicator indicates where a new container will be opened relative to (the other windows in the parent container).

Anyways, this is pretty low priority I imagine- plenty of important stuff for the 1.0 release that will need priority.
